Viktor Soltes, Filip Lenko

Abstract


Protection the life and health of the population are one of the main tasks of the state and self-government. Cities and municipalities finance from their budgets activities that increase the level of citizens' security. One area that can be included in security is civil protection. By examining the final accounts of cities and municipalities, it is possible to find out how much money they have invested in civil protection activities. The aim of the paper is to analyze and compare the budgets of selected cities and municipalities with a focus on security activities. The conclusion of the paper is a proposal of the optimal amount of funds that cities and municipalities should invest in the area of civil protection expressed as a percentage. The contribution will allow local government authorities to set the effective amount of funds spent in this way for a sufficient level of security for their citizens.
